10 Most Underrated Superman Villains

Considering Mister Mxyzptlk stands 4ft 6 and has the voice of Gilbert Gottfried, it's easy to underestimate him, but there is no question that this fifth-dimensional puck is the most powerful villain in Superman's entire roster.

Being a Zrffffian from the fifth dimension, this whimsical imp isn't bound by the laws of the third-dimension, meaning his power is unlimited in our reality. With a mere thought, he can rearrange matter, defy the law of physics, and conjure living creatures into being.

Even the world's greatest hero, Superman, has been bested by the bowler-wearing prankster time and time again.

Because of his playful manner, Mxyzptlk is considered a nuisance rather than an outright villain. And thank the heavens that is the case. If Mxy decided to turn on humanity, there's not a thing anyone could do to beat him.

When the Joker stole the trickster's powers in the Emperor Joker storyline, he remade the universe in his image and was moments away from undoing all of reality before Superman stopped him. Although Superman defeated Joker, this story proved just how dangerous Mxy could be if he embraced his dark side.
